Incredible 1926-S Oregon
Trail Half Dollar in Gem MS-67 ! Every once in
a while we get a chance to see near perfection in coin
form and this Oregon sure looks near that level of perfection.
The Oregon Trail has been considered the most beautiful
coinage designs by many collectors, certainly has captured
the number one position in classic commemorative half
dollar designs and this one is not only MS-67, but judging
by the boldness of strike, underlying luster, absence
of imperfections one might consider this specimen even
finer than what the holder claims. Now take a closer
look, enlarge the image and take a gander at that color!
This Oregon, with gentle and even not so gentle strokes
of lavender, violets and other pastel shades which cascade
into a center of golden hues, one has to wonder how
many specimens could actually compare with this one
and we think we could find it difficult to count on
one hand how many we’ve seen over the decades
of this date that compare. Truly a work of art in silver
coin form.
